Special Features:

The Colour Collection 18 Years Old was launched in 2023 for travel retail. This single malt matured for 18 years predominantly in American oak casks, alongside a smaller proportion of European oak. All the casks had previously been seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera.

American oak contributes lemon and vanilla, while European oak brings dried fruit, spice and orange. The sherry seasoning adds almond and toffee notes. Clementine, honeycomb and sweet oak shape its sweet, citrus-led character, with milk chocolate also part of the aromatic profile. Its light chestnut colour developed during cask maturation, without added colouring.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, clementine, panna cotta and baked apple mingle with sultanas and sweet oak.
  • Palate: On the palate, vanilla sponge cake and milk chocolate meet orange, citrus peel, oak and honeycomb.
  • Finish: The medium-length finish fades with sweet oak and orange.

Distillery/Bottler:

Alexander Reid founded The Macallan in 1824 on the Easter Elchies estate near Craigellachie, beside the River Spey. For the Colour Collection, the distillery uses casks specially seasoned with sherry in Jerez. The whisky is an official distillery bottling.

The Macallan Distillers Limited is part of the Glasgow-based Edrington Group.
